Listening to Tan Youwei's story, Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but frown.
No wonder Tan Youwei is so anxious. There is something wrong with the baby's fetal heart rate. This is not a trivial matter.
Fetal heart rate is related to the life safety and growth and development status of the fetus in the womb.
Normal fetal heart rate is one of the important indicators of the healthy survival of the fetus. Once there is a problem with the fetal heart rate, it often indicates that the fetus may be facing a serious threat.
In this case, generally speaking, Western medicine cannot solve it, not to mention that the medical conditions in this era are limited, and many medical methods and equipment are not as advanced as later generations.
Relatively speaking, in the face of this situation, Chinese medicine may have more solutions. Zhou Ziwen's medical skills have reached level 6, which is equivalent to a highly qualified expert.
And his medical skills include traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, which gives him a more comprehensive perspective and more diverse solutions when facing such complex diseases.
He can make a preliminary assessment of the status of pregnant women and fetuses from the perspective of Western medicine with the help of existing basic examination equipment, and analyze possible abnormalities in physiological indicators, such as blood oxygen content, hormone levels, etc., to assist in diagnosis. .
At the same time, with his profound knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, he is able to deeply explore the conditions of pregnant women's Qi and blood, organ function, and meridians blockage.
Although he has not seen it with his own eyes, through Tan Youwei's description, he has initially constructed a possible portrait of the condition in his mind, and began to think about corresponding solutions.
The car was speeding on the way to the hospital, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the county hospital.
Zhou Ziwen quickly got out of the car and followed Tan Youwei straight to the obstetrics and gynecology ward.
Arrived at the door of the ward, Tan Youwei pointed inside and said, "Ziwen, the patient is inside, you can follow me in."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and followed Tan Youwei We walked into the ward.
In the ward, Deputy Director Zhang and his son were standing beside the bed anxiously. With them were the directors of various departments, and even the president and vice president of the hospital.
But their expressions were not very good.
Seeing Tan Youwei come in, they hurriedly came to greet him as if they were seeing a savior.
"Director Tan, Comrade Zhou Ziwen, you are here, look what happened to my daughter-in-law? You must keep my grandson!" Deputy Director Zhang said eagerly.
"Don't worry, Deputy Director Zhang, we will do our best." Tan Youwei said and winked at Zhou Ziwen.
Zhou Ziwen understood and immediately stepped forward to check on the condition of the pregnant woman.
Zhou Ziwen walked to the hospital bed, carefully checked the pregnant woman's face and physical signs, and then carefully read the pregnant woman's medical records and previous examination reports. He noticed that the pregnant woman's face was pale and her pulse was weak, which may be a sign of insufficient Qi and blood.
"Deputy Director Zhang, I need to conduct a comprehensive examination for the patient." Zhou Ziwen said to Deputy Director Zhang.
Deputy Director Zhang nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, everything is up to you."
Zhou Ziwen first used a stethoscope to check the pregnant woman's fetal heart rate. It was indeed as Tan Youwei said, The fetal heart beats irregularly and sometimes briefly stops.
He then asked the pregnant woman some questions about her reactions and feelings during pregnancy to better understand her overall condition.
In terms of Western medicine, Zhou Ziwen considered that some blood tests may be needed to check the pregnant woman's hemoglobin level, coagulation function, electrolyte balance, etc., which may affect the health of the fetus.
At the same time, he also considered ultrasound examination to evaluate the development of the fetus and the specific reasons for the abnormal fetal heart rate.
In terms of traditional Chinese medicine, Zhou Ziwen judged that the pregnant woman may have a deficiency of both qi and blood through the four diagnostic methods of observation, smell, inquiry, incision and ginseng, which may be the internal cause of fetal heart instability. He decided to use traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture to replenish qi and blood, reconcile yin and yang, and promote the healthy development of the fetus.
"Deputy Director Zhang, I suggest immediately arranging blood tests and ultrasound examinations for the patient. At the same time, I will prescribe some Chinese medicine and perform acupuncture treatment." Zhou Ziwen said to Deputy Director Zhang.
Deputy Director Zhang immediately asked the medical staff to act according to Zhou Ziwen's request.
Soon, the pregnant woman was arranged to undergo relevant examinations, and Zhou Ziwen began to prepare the equipment needed for Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
While waiting for the test results, Zhou Ziwen performed acupuncture treatment for the pregnant woman and selected several key acupuncture points, such as Zusanli, Hegu, Sanyinjiao, etc., to reconcile Qi and blood and relieve the nervousness of the pregnant woman. It also helps improve the blood supply to the fetus.
Shortly after the acupuncture treatment, the results of the blood test and ultrasound examination came out.
The blood test showed that the pregnant woman's hemoglobin level was low, and the ultrasound examination showed that the umbilical cord of the fetus was wrapped around the neck, which may be the direct cause of the abnormal fetal heart rate.
"Deputy Director Zhang, according to the examination results, the fetal umbilical cord wrapping around the neck is the direct cause of the abnormal fetal heart rate. We need to take immediate measures to avoid fetal hypoxia." Zhou Ziwen said seriously.
Deputy Director Zhang asked nervously: "Dr. Zhou, what should we do?"
Zhou Ziwen thought for a while, and then said: "We can try to alleviate the problem by adjusting the pregnant woman's position. If the umbilical cord wraps around the neck, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture treatment will be continued to promote the health of the fetus. ”
Under Zhou Ziwen’s guidance, pregnant women are guided to make specific position adjustments in order to alleviate the problem of the umbilical cord wrapping around the neck.
At the same time, Zhou Ziwen continued to prescribe Chinese medicine prescriptions for pregnant women. With this set of medical methods, the condition of the pregnant women improved.
Although the fetal heart rate is still a little unstable, it is not as serious as before.
Seeing this situation, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Deputy Director Zhang even more excitedly held Zhou Ziwen's hand: "Comrade Zhou Ziwen, thank you so much!"
In fact, Deputy Director Zhang still remembered the young Zhou Ziwen of educated youth.
When Zhou Ziwen planted mushrooms in Dabazi Village, he saw hope, and later he asked several other production teams to send people there to learn.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ziwen could not only grow mushrooms, but also have medical skills, and his medical skills were so good.
Thanks to him this time, otherwise his unborn grandson would have been in trouble.
Zhou Ziwen smiled slightly and said modestly: "Deputy Director Zhang deserves the award. This is what I should do."
Tan Youwei on the side couldn't help but praise: "Zi Wen, you are really amazing. If it weren’t for you this time, we would have been helpless.”
Zhou Ziwen shook his head and said, “Director Tan, this is the result of everyone’s joint efforts.”
Hearing this, the other doctors present all cast admiring glances at Zhou Ziwen.
If it weren’t for Zhou Ziwen’s presence this time, none of them would be free of responsibility.
You know, Deputy Director Zhang is not that easy to talk to. Although he has no control over the hospital, his position is there after all. It is easy to put small shoes on for them. (End of this chapter)
